The Conference brings numerous professional development opportunities and the chance to visit with and learn from colleagues all over the nation. The conference brings together top resources from business, industry, and government to help hazardous materials managers do thie job better, faster, and safer.
In Kansas City:
Paul Hawken, businessman, environmentalist, and author, will discuss "natural capitalism," a blueprint for the coming industrial revolution in which market forces will restructure the economy to preserve and protect the natural capital upon which we all depend. Hawken believes that nature provides trillions of dollars of services that have no human-made substitutes: clean air, fertile topsoil, and watersheds. By ignoring this, modern industrial capitalism provides disincentives to sustainable development and misses opportunities for efficiency and economic well-being.
Paul Hawken is the founder of Smith & Hawken, the garden, retail, and catalog company, and has hosted a 17-part PBS series exploring the joys and pitfalls of starting and operating socially responsive companies. He is chairman of the Natural Step, a nonprofit educational foundation, and co-author of Natural Capitalism: The Next Industrial Revolution. He has received the Small Business Administration Entrepenuer of the Year Award and the Council on Economic Priorities Environmental Stewardship Award.
